Ellisa

Ellis is a rare inherited blood disorder characterized by abnormal activation of immune cells called macrophages. In children, the development of the disease occurs in several stages, and the disease manifests itself as lethargy, poor weight gain, impaired sensitivity, impaired coordination of movements, and by the age of 8-12 years myopathy (muscle weakness) develops. From 16-22 years of age, symptoms of damage to the heart, brain, and eyes gradually become visible. In 80% of cases, complete recovery does not occur; patients can only be supported with medications and diet therapy.
